Areas of Study

Core courses are in the following areas: economics, finance, decision sciences, operations, human resources and organization behavior, accounting, strategy and policy. Elective courses are offered in three broad tracks: finance, marketing, and general management. For more information students should consult the FEMBA program.

Course Requirements

Students in the FEMBA program choose, based on space availability, one of five class section formats: Section one classes meet all day Saturday; Section two classes meet all day Saturday; Section three classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings; Section four classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings; Section five classes meeting TBD. A traditional M.B.A. degree is awarded on completion of 84 units which are typically taken in a three-year period. Section schedules are subject to change.

The three required elements of the FEMBA program are the management core, the international management field study (Global Access Program), and the management electives.

Management Core. The management core consists of nine courses (38 units) on subjects basic to the practice of management. Student must maintain a 3.0 (B) overall average in the management core courses. Each class section completes core courses in a specified sequence.

International Field Study. The Global Access Program is the 10-unit, two-term field study project requirement in the third year of the FEMBA program. Teams of FEMBA students work with international client firms to create strategic business plans. Clients are typically high-growth, technology based companies seeking to expand into international markets, particularly, but not exclusively, into the United States. Students apply what they have learned from both their professional experience and their academic courses in a real world business environment.

Electives. The FEMBA program offers three broad elective tracks: finance, marketing, and general management. Students are not required to specialize in one track but may choose courses from the three tracks. Students take electives outside of their regular class section formats to permit a wider choice of courses.
